Make-Out Parties Exist in New York at a Club Called House of Scorpio

July 26, 2010

Well, I know what I won’t be doing Thursday night. Time Out briefly profiled the “down and dirty” club House of Scorpio on their purported “Lip Service” party and had their host, Larisa Fuchs, lay out some ground rules for the R-rated rendezvous. We translated them for you.

These parties are reportedly full of “lubricating cocktails and naughty games with sexy friends and intriguing strangers” designed to exploit the horniness of people who probably use online dating mechanisms (seeing as their promoter, “Gemini and Scorpio,” are self-proclaimed online dating gurus, whatever that means). Anyway, here are the rules at “Lip Service,” lest you find yourself bored this coming Thursday night.

1. Dress to kiss
“Costumes are highly encouraged,” says Fuchs, “Wouldn’t you love to make out with a unicorn or a pope?” Fuchs adds that casual or business attire is banned at the door, “since cubicles and daily chores should be the furthest thing from your mind.”

Kissy kissy!

Translation: Getting someone to make out with you requires becoming something you are not. No one wants to make out with who you actually are, so you might as well come as exactly the opposite. And the Pope idea is totally ironic!
